Our aim for the street teams is to take Gods presence out into the streets where people live. We will be praying for streets, houses and peoples lives within these areas. We will let God's love flow from within us to the people we meet. We will stop and talk to anyone of any age and background, to become friends with them. Allowing them to get to know us and trust us, hopefully they will be able to share things with us and us with them. People will start to realise that we are going to be there for them if they need someone to talk to. We will be around the same areas on the same nights, constantly being there for them. The street teams will be of three people in a group so that it is safe for the workers and unthreatening for the people on the streets. Initially two teams will be starting the work with the hope to expand.

If we don’t get to talk to many people initially the teams will spend time praying for the areas of contact, this is a very valuable part of the ministry.

The street teams started work at the beginning of December 2003 in Cotgrave on Saturday nights. There is a huge need for some street outreach for the youth of Cotgrave that hang around the precinct and local shopping areas. Please pray for the teams on these Saturday nights.

In Jan 2004 teams started outreach into Edwalton, around the church area and local parks and shops. This is taking place on Monday nights. Again please pray for Gods direction and insight into this work.

Isaiah 57:14 “Build up, build up, prepare the road! Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people.”

Isaiah 58:6-9 “Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the chords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter- when you see the naked, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard. Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help and he will say: Here am I.

Isaiah 58:11-12 The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose water never fails. Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.

God's calling to be Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings has currently been accepted by eight members of the church and many more have accepted their responsibilities to be praying for the teams.

God has promised that when we cry for help, he will say; Here am I. The teams are trusting God for His protection and His direction. We will be dressed with the full armour of God, (Ephesians 6:10-17) ready to stand firm for Jesus in any situation we may find.
